Scientists have successfully used a new imaging technique to determine the structure and interactions of a protein complex that plays a significant part in the initiation and progression of cancer. They showed that it was possible to use a high-resolution form of cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to gain a better insight into how the protein complex binds to inhibitor drug molecules.
President Joe Biden lies about everything: the economy, Israel, Nelson Mandela and more. It’s up to voters to may him pay the price in November.
Last Friday, a health alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pinged its way across the inboxes of clinicians and state health departments all over the US. The message described how a dairy farm worker in Texas had contracted H5N1, the highly infectious strain of avian influenza, or bird flu, that’s currently circling worldwide. The dairy worker had caught the virus, apparently, from cattle. The CDC’s alert urged doctors to be vigilant and consider H5N1 a possibility in any...
In today’s inflated economy, the 60/30/10 budgeting method could be a better option for your financial situation than the traditional 50/30/20 rule.
A method based on CT (computed tomography)—a type of imaging that is widely used in hospitals—can help improve our understanding of CO2 storage, batteries, and processes in the body such as nutrient uptake.
Against the backdrop of the crisis in US–Israel relations, the US
Early this year, the consecration of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, which signifies the return of Ram Lalla to the city of his birth, was seen as the deliberate instrumentalisation of Ram’s legacy, with the BJP capitalising on the emotive appeal of Lord Ram across all strata of society ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The Ram Mandir movement, of course, has been a rallying cry for the party, which has succeeded in positioning itself as champions of ‘the Hindu cause’ by...
In the field of organic chemistry, scientists are always looking out for new types of reactions to unlock synthesis routes for challenging compounds. Most of the progress that we have witnessed in pharmaceutics and agrochemicals over the past few decades can be traced back to the discovery of novel practical reaction pathways. Such pathways often involve the selective replacement of a functional group with another, the formation of aromatic rings, or the strategic cleaving of parts of a...
Researchers at the University of Würzburg have developed a method that can improve the performance of quantum resistance standards. It's based on a quantum phenomenon called Quantum Anomalous Hall effect.
Meta brings new features to the Quest, particularly with the chance to lie down while using the headset.
The New York Times is apparently finding it difficult to be honest with its readers about the burden of student loan debt. It ran a major column telling readers that the burden of student loan debt is discouraging young people from becoming priests or nuns. The whole premise of this column rests on a lie, More
